is such a thing even possible
uncharted was dead and buried because they were making tlous. lol
The idea that Sony believe resources can be spent on Knack 2 rather than the dozens of more deserving IPs, recent or old, is disturbing, even supposing that Knack 2 development is cheap.
In my opinion Knack was a good move at launch, they needed something to grab moms' attention. But now.. seriously. Unless of course, Knack is a codename for the new Crash Bandicoot

To be fair tho: just looking at 1 minute footage of Knack being played should have told you everything.
This mistake did not have to be made.

They still like to sell consoles, so they still want "mom's attention".
Mom's are not front loaded... no pun intended.
Is this like a, "I would rather they work on some shit I have no clue about A), versus Remasters of some shit people actually enjoyed or did not play B)" disingenuous post?
I would rather Shu come to my house, rub my foots, say "PlayStation On" hitting my controller button, all while doing Sake bombs, but sad it does not happen.

Once Knack 2 receives positive response as a better game.
Ok let me rephrase it. I would rather the work force working on a potential Knack 2 to work on something else. Idiot.
It was a launch title of course it sold well.
Again it was a launch title that was HEAVILY marketed and pegged as one of the goto titles for launch. At the time you had this, resogun, some PSN games, and KZ:SF. On top of that it was the holidays and people were snatching up deals left and right such as the b2g1 at target.
Here's a good example. KZ:SF moved over 2 million units if I remember correctly... and yet the online community was ridiculously weak thanks to poor word of mouth and negative fan reception.
That's all well and good. Every game ever is almost guaranteed to have some people out there who want a sequel, obviously barring catastrophic failures or outright broken games. That being said the game has a score in the 50s from critics and a 6.5 user rating on metacritic. The social media reaction to the game was also overwhelmingly negative, and the hate is STRONG on neogaf and other forums of the like. When you see reactions like that, the game is doing something wrong.
Ryse: son of rome sold over a million units. Would it be smart to make a sequel to that? There is more than meets the eye when it comes to numbers.

True.
If people are constantly excusing sony for not investing in Vita IPs or reviving old popular IPs, or physical versions of games in the US. But yet they'd put money in motherfucking Knack 2 ?
And so the knackening dies
You can say that about every game.

It's like all those hospitals the government would definitely build if they didn't spend so much on defence.
Why is everyone acting like knack 2 means Sony cancelled crash + ape escape + jumping flash?
It's just a game. Blimey I'm starting to feel guilty for getting platinum on it. Must be a false memory that I enjoyed it.

It's about diversifying the lineup.
Will Gravity Rush 2 sell millions upon millions?
Will The Last Guardian sell millions upon millions?
Believe it or not Knack sold well and it's not an expensive game to make.
Bosman is why Knack sold so well
What? Cerny always said Knack was a small side-project and meant to be a third or fourth tier pick-up.
"Man our 2016 line up is looking great. But I think we could add a little more garbage in it to even it out"

This still cracks me up. Just the way Mario looks all bent.

I am a true believer in you are entitled to your own opinion. But Knack is one of those games that I can't wrap my head around how anyone can call it anything above a mediocre game. It was basically a poor mans Skylanders without the collectible figures and none of the fun.

Can't wait for Knack 2! Really enjoyed the first.

We've seen nothing of this potential game, and it's already garbage, huh?
It's funny when people bring um Ryse, or The Order: 1886, etc.
We're talking about a small-budget Knack game and not about big AAA games with big marketing cash behind it. Making Knack makes a lot of sense. You can easily bundle it and you have a "family game" for the holidays.
And btw. what's here to hate? Don't like it? Don't buy it and move on. Tons of other dev studios out there to support. "Hate" makes no sense.

I imagine the first knack made a boatload of money due to the fact that it was probably fairly cheap to produce and that being a launch title helped it sell way more then it should have.
I don't know if a sequal is something people have been clamoring for though and I think those resources could be better spent on a different projects.

Not surprising, it's all over a bunch of Japanese BBS to say the least.
And it's your fault
edit: Well, partially. For the NeoGAF signal boost.
Actually, he said he wants it to be people's second game at launch.
Not third or fourth. Jesus, you guys. This is as frustrating as first meeting the beetles in the forest of Knack chapter 2!
Heart of ice you have
Vita games don't sell, knack sold over 2 million.
Most those old IPs didn't sell either. Most exclusives don't, they are library fillers which get talked about far more later by very vocal fans then when they actually got released.

You are never making a game with that mindset. They will try to make a better game this time.
Tell us about Knack II.
GD2 a sequel to a vita game that did not sell very well still exists. I don't think those other games mention would be canceled for knack 2.
